Kimble County officials arrested three people this weekend accused of running a San Antonio forgery ring that targeted businesses in multiple cities and counties.

Deputy Steve Brown said he had been investigating the fraud since a bad check was used at a store in Junction on June 4. A Saturday traffic stop turned out to be the break needed in the case.

Leonora Maldonado Garcia, 39, and Ronald Keith Allen, 57, were arrested when deputies searched their car during the traffic stop and found four temporary driver's licenses and a stack of checks, according to the arrest warrant affidavits and a news release from the sheriff's office.

The licenses had Garcia's picture on them but different names.

Deputies did a background search and found that Garcia had a warrant for her arrest in Harris County for forgery, the affidavit said.

Once in custody, Garcia told deputies that a man she used to date was running the fraud ring in San Antonio. She said he would tell her where to cash the checks, and for each one she would get $150 and Allen would receive a cut, but she wasn't sure how much, the affidavit said. The checks totaled about $5,000.

They found evidence there of making fraudulent checks and driver's license and identification cards, the affidavit said.

Roberson was arrested on charges of forgery, fraudulent use or possession of identifying information and engaging in organized crime. Both Garcia and Allen were jailed in Kimble County and charged with forgery, possession of fraudulent documents and engaging in organized crime, according to the release.
